—Jules Ferry, Premier of France, | says that the Count of Chambord’s death | has in no wise disturbed the Government of France, and that if the geveral elec- tions held to-day hardly thirty Royalists would be rgturned. Royalist in France, he declares |
were
demonstrations
he w ill not be allowed to liv e—in France. |
—The Western Union Telegraph Com- | pany has been condemued by a New} York Court to pay a fine of a hundred | dollars for having refused to accept 2 | message for trausmissiou except ov the | condition that it should be regarded by | the sender as subject to delay. It was| decided that Company under charter has no right to impose such a condition. This decision has been rightly termed “suggestive.”

—(Concerning the state of trade in Canada, the Montreal Herald, ot the 30th of August, says: ‘* The business situa- tion, as viewed from varicus standpoints, presents a uniformly quiet appearance, in which the salient points are a steady, general demand for legitimate purposes, which progresses without excitement, & cheerful feeling regardiog the future, and a disposition amovg business men to do no more thau keep abreast of the times without forcing matters. At least a fair average yield of field products has been assured, although there is a heavy short- age iu the fall wheat crop of Ontario, aud it would appear that the consuming power of the country is undiminished. Altogether the indications at present point to a healthy measure of fall trade.’
—Commeoting upon an article in the Saturday Review, on the State and FederalGovernoments of the United States, the Toronto Mai! shows how inelastic is the United States Con-titution with re- spect to the appointment of the President. Congress, the Mail points out, names the President of the Senate as the successor of both the chief officers. If Guiteau or avy other assassin had killed Mr. Arthur as well as Mr. Garfield. there could have beeo no need of the American Govern- ment uutil December. All executive business would huve been at a stand- still. Congress could not meetin special session, because there would have been no competent authority to summon it. la fact, had both officers perished on the same day there would have been no head ofthe American Government from the beginning of July uutil the beginning of December.

—‘The following details,” says the Pall Mali Gazette, “with regard to the hair-dressing of Japanese ladies may be of interest in these days, aad may help to elucidate much of the mystery which always surrounds the meaning of a Japa- nese picture: In Japan a girl at the age of nine wears her hair tied up in a red scarf bound around the back of her head; the forehead is left bare, with the ex- ception of a couple of locks, one on each side. When she is of a marriageable age, she combs her hair forward and makes it up into the shape of a fan or a butterfly, and at the same time decorates it with silver cord and balls of varied colors. This means everything, and is fully understood by the young men of Japan. A widow who wishes for a second husband puts a tortoise-shell pio horizoutally at the back of her head and twists her hair around it, while an un- cousolable widow cuts her hair short and goes in for no adorument of any sort. These last are very rare. By these simp'e means much confusion is avoided. A glance around a ball-room suffices to tell the age aud status of every lady io the place, and a great deal might be said for the iutroduction of such a custom into this country.”
—It is stated that Mr. Gladstone has developed a scheme of representative reform. Some of the inaqualities of the electoral law of the United Kingdom are very apparent. We are told that forty- two boroughs with an aggregate popu- lation of only 249,000, and only 30,913)

The Turf.
The grand trot of the season, which was to have come off on the 21st ult., on Somerset Driving Park, has, as many of our readers are perhaps already aware, been postponed until the 18th inst., when ample opportunity will be afforded the sporting young bloods of the community and sur- rounding districts to show off to the very best advantage the going qualities of their respective fast horses. It is also, we believe, the intention of the proprietor to provide in connection with the trot such other accommodations as will prove more suitable to the tastes of those who better enjoy the wany good things afforded by a general Tea Party. A well stocked refresh- ment saloon ehall be erected on the grounds (no ginger-pop this time), besides spacious booths in which the many blit!isome lads and lasses attending the trot may enjoy themselves to the fullest extent with a “hop” in the open bracing air. As there is a large number of horses entered, the first race will start at 10 o’clock sharp as the day will be short. If the 18th proves unfavorable for the trot, it wiil be held on the first fine day following. The three year old race will be the first race called. —Com.

The Gloucester Fisheries.
GREAT FALLING OFF IN RECEIPTS AS COM- PARED WITH PREVIOUS YEARS.
The vessels arriving at Gloucester, Mass. , from the Bay of St. Lawrence, report a good catch of mackerel, and several have returned for a second trip, there being but little news of an encouraging character from the large fleet empleyed upon the American shore. August is usually a go-d month, and was looked to to redeem the ill success early in the season, but the hopes have not been realized. Forthe remainder of the season the mackerel fishery is attended with considerable uncertainty, but with good weather it is just possible to make a considerable addition to the stock within the next six er eight weeks; not, however, to bring the supply up to the usual amount, or the quantity demanded by the trade, The total receipts at

The traveller's name is Karl Koan ; he hails from New York and states that he has travelled upwards of 8,000 miles on his bicycle. He landed at Yarmouth on Wednesday last and has travelled all the way between there and here on the machine. An ingenious arrangement of wire is fixed on the handle of the bicycle, which is intended to carry the travellers satchel, to which it is strapped. He says the roads in Nova Seotia is particularly good for travelling on, and was surprised to learn that they were so few aa of the wheel in the city and country. fe will go to P. E.

Tracadie Harbor Notes.
We are glad tosee that the mackerel fishing here is as successful as at any other fishing station on the North Shore; and that the fishermen are making up to a fair extent for lost time in the earlier part of the season.
The factory owned by Messrs. Morris & Hyndman is doing well. During the last three weeks 250 cases of mackerel have been preserved under the auspices of Matthew Waddell, Charlottstown. Mr. Waddell stands foremost amongst the pre- servers of the Island, and we bespeak for his fish a good name either in the American or British market.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY

For the Better Improveieat of

Deleciive Eyesight —w ee SC) |e
A most extraordinary discovery in the manufacture of Spectacle Lenses has recently been made and patented by Jonathan R. Rowell.
The **Annular Elliptic Lens” is so constructed as to gather the rays of light and transmit them through a wider range of vision than any other lens in use. It produces an apparently enlarged area at the point at which the object is seen, so as to adapt itself to eyes of different requirements, without trying or wearying the optic nerves, conse- quently wiil require less frequent changing of lenses than those ordivarily in use. By reason of the rays of light passing through the centre of the leus which meet or come to a focus, at say 14 inches from the glass, the ranges of vision ig strengthened by illuminating the darkened space around the focal point where the concentrated rays are thrown to the centre. The object of the surrounding bevelled ring is to direct the concentrated rays, so as to overspread the dark surface, making ii lighter. This condi- tion is attained by having the beveled or polished ring so inclined to the ax of the lens as to produce a separate and distinct focal point. This increase of light at the focal point renders objects placed therein more c/ear/y visible, and has the effect of pro- ducing an enlarged area of light, thereby preventing dimness of vision peculiar to leases constructed on the old plan.
Prof. A. K. Eaton, of Brooklyn, says:—“I have worn the pair of Annular Ellipti- Eye-Glasses you furnished me with some three months ago, and after critical examina- tion I find they certainly have all the advantages claimed for them. The two curves of the lens give, of course, two distinct focal points, and were the human eye nothing more than an ordinary optical instrument, there would be no advantage in the use of such lenses. But the eye in its perfect condition possesses the property of involuntary adjustment for different distances. When it loses this power through age, or othere wise, ordinary glasses enable the eye to work at a given distance, but do not restore the quality of adjustability. This is positively effected by the Annular Elliptic Lens, which enable the eye to adjust itself for distance within certain limits, which are determined by the foci of the different curves. This the public will appreciate when fully under- stood,”
We are so convinced of the advantages possessed by these Spectacles that we offer to take back Spectacles sold by us during the past three mooths, and that are not dam- aged, in part payment,—of the New Patent Lenses, this offer to hold good for one month
